Services
Lead for Impact is ready to deliver customized capacity-building and leadership development programs that will provide you with the skills you need to transform yourself, your organization, and the world in which we live. Our programs include frameworks and tools needed to consolidate knowledge across disciplines, to design effective strategies, and to be innovative with measurable results. Whether you or your organization are starting from scratch or need a new impetus for capacity and leadership development, we will adapt the training and programs to your needs.
Each emergency we face is different and unique in the response it requires, so there is no “one size fits all” solution that will help you deal with each of them. Instead, what we offer through our training is the knowledge and a set of skills that will help you be an effective and composed leader, see the bigger picture while paying attention to details, and, as much as possible, to be in control of the situation through your preparedness.
Participants will be able to:
● analyze a complex emergency situation
● see and map a bigger picture
● identify creative avenues for action under pressure
● create a detailed action plan to deal with the crisis
● lead their diverse teams effectively and efficiently in an emergency situation
We will provide you with:
● theoretical concepts of emergency response and preparedness
● a set of practical skills for analysing and reaction to a challenging situation
● leadership skills that will help you manage your team efficiently and effectively
● tools for improved self-awareness, perspective taking and communication skills
